Steel and claw

Desponia · Updated 04/30/23:

Frankly Desponia needed a break from the little monsters. Little was a relative term of course. Four out of five of them had been big as hell. Just one more resentment she was carrying for the man who'd fathered them. As if five pups wasn't enough when she knew full well women in her family tended to have small litters he'd also made four of them hurt like hell. Not that the smallest one hadn't hurt either way. Desponia had almost expected that once her kids were actually born that she'd find her maternal instinct. She did not. She dutifully nursed them and had even given them names but she found it was less driven by any sort of affection for the little whelps and more a feeling of obligation. She'd chosen to keep them, she ought to at least keep them alive for a while.

She'd thought maybe her affection would kick in once they started talking, having actual personalities beyond squirming squeaking things. Still a no. In fact she was almost more annoyed by them now that some of them had started to babble. The movement that could barely be called walking also didn't do anything to endear them to her. She certainly was not pleased with the few escape attempts she'd already stopped.

So yeah maybe what she really needed was a distraction. Luckily for Desponia one was about to show. With the pups deep in sleep she easily extricated herself from them and made her way towards the sounds of fighting, stretching her legs out and getting a feel for her body now in recovery. Was she being irresponsible with her kids? Yes, but she was already pushing that thought from her mind and scanning the horizon. It seemed many of her pack were already engaged, her niece having fallen away from a younger woman, Desponia adjusted to fill that gap, picking up speed.

As she continued to move she picked up her pace, and lowered her head, hoping to ram her horns into the woman's chest. Desponia was well aware that her approach was pretty easy to see and read so she would have to try and be a little more creative. With head lowered she set her sights on her paws, and her jaw parted, hoping to grab hold of a wrist or paw once close enough, even if her horns didn't hit.
